  var num_results = 3;
  var results = []
  var makeCallback = function(index) {
    return function(response) {
      num_results -= 1;
      results[index] = response;
      if (num_results > 0) {
        return;
      }
      
      // actually do stuff here, all results are loaded.
    };
  };
  $.get("/a", makeCallback(0));
  $.get("/b", makeCallback(1));
  $.get("/c", makeCallback(2));
